Best to See Your Juneau Chiropractor As Long As You Need
“Do I have to see my chiropractor forever?” is a familiar question Aurora Chiropractic Center gets when Juneau folks talk about chiropractic. Juneau chiropractic patients are a assorted group. Some Juneau chiropractic patients come for a specific spinal pain relief issue and quit. Some Juneau chiropractic patients come and go as their back pain or neck pain issue requires (though following closely the at-home care program that includes lifestyle issues, diet, nutrition, and exercise keeps these issues at bay for many!). Some Juneau chiropractic patients find that coming for a Juneau chiropractic spinal manipulation visit on a regular schedule after pain relief is achieved benefits them: feeling better and keeping that better feeling when prodded to keep doing healthy things like exercising, eating right and being adjusted. Aurora Chiropractic Center appreciates every Juneau chiropractic patient who entrusts their spine’s healing and on-going health to this Juneau chiropractic practice.
Now, just how often a Juneau chiropractic patient can benefit from Juneau chiropractic care visits is a well-researched answer for chronic low back pain patients. Aurora Chiropractic Center presents a new project in which participants with chronic low back pain received treatment three times a week for 6 weeks. Some visits were with spinal manipulation; some were with light massage; some not treatment at all. Finally, 12 chiropractic spinal manipulation treatments produced the most favorable outcomes for chronic low back pain patients. At one year follow up, the 18 visits patients showed greatest outcomes for disability and pain relief. (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center uses the Cox Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which has researched and documented for other specific spinal conditions the number of visits and days to maximum improvement. Such evidence permits Aurora Chiropractic Center to really help our Juneau back pain patients’ knowledge of what to expect with Juneau chiropractic care.
The number of visits for low back pain episodes fluctuates often with the underlying cause of the back pain episode. A study from 30 chiropractic clinics’ chiropractic care with flexion distraction (aka Cox Technic) gathered data on 1000 back pain patients. It detailed the types of conditions treated, the days, visits and patient outcomes. Globally35, 12 visits in 29 days were the mean results for maximum improvement. For particular conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc herniation (even L4 vs L5 disc herniation), sprain/strain, etc., the days and visits varied. There is a difference in treating a disc herniation versus a sprain understandably. One presents a greater challenge to treat than the other. 91% of patients discovered relief of their low back pain and leg pain on average in less than 90 days (when the condition turns "chronic") and 12 visits.

Whatever your underlying condition of spinal pain, a Juneau chiropractic treatment plan can be coordinated for its relief with a recommendation for on-going chiropractic care if that is desired. Aurora Chiropractic Center is at your service!
